A New Baby!!!


I know I have been a bit of a slacker, but that is ok I have been busy.

I first have to welcome the newest member of the Snell Family. Gavin Michael Snell was born Febuary 16, 2008 at 10:26 p.m. to the proud parents Robert and Natalie Snell, and big brother Nathan. He weighed in at 7lbs 9oz and 21 inches long. He is a cutie and has already shown how much of a Snell he is(very gassie).

Now for Arianna, she is doing very good and has been given a clean bill of health from her doctor, she does have some fluid in her right ear but it is not infected. We have been out a few times in our new car and she really likes it, if she is cranky I can put her in the car and drive and then she is happy. It was never like that in our other car. We went for Synagis on Friday, she hated that, and then went to the Homer's for a visit. Alex was taken with Arianna and all her rolling around. Kenna has found a new best friend in Ry and has asked to go back everyday since. I had a great time with Brynn, it feels so good to talk with an adult, and know that my kid(Kenna) is not the only one that melts down like the world has come to an end. Thanks for my reality check, I needed it. And thanks for lunch, quesadillas have never tasted so great.

Arianna is still working on those teeth, it takes forever for teeth to push through when you don't use your mouth to eat. I try teethers and such but she would rather chew on my hand, and her teeth are sharp. She still wont leave her oxygen in her nose so I have to put socks on her hands so she can't grab it.


Tomorrow she will be 20 months old, how cool is that!!! I will post a pic tomorrow so you can see how she has grown.

I am also a member of IHH. I am Andrew's mom. Brynn told me that you know of a place that takes donated medical supplies in Salt Lake. Andrew had a pump and an NG tube for almost 10 months. I now have a box of feeding bags and a couple feeding tubes that I don't want to just throw away. Could you email me when you have a minute, yeah right, and let me know of this place? I would really be grateful.

Glad to see she is doing so well! I was worried about her and the rest of your family for a while.
Hope I get to meet you one day.
